Nice start. However you need to go a bit deeper in defining and clarifying the economic basis for peace. I will take you on a journey through four important graphs on the topic of The Economics of Peace if you wish to do so.

Twenty-eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution

The United States will assume the pursuit of peace to be its primary goal in foreign and domestic policy, make a peace economy its highest priority, and in that process reduce its nuclear weapons to zero within ten years, and demand that all other nations reduce their nuclear weapons to zero as well.

Other dangerous weapons such a depleted uranium, mines and cluster bombs, biological and nano weapons, electromagnetic and infrared weapons, and the project of information warfare will be ended decisively. The United States will oppose efforts to wage war by conventional, nuclear, or psychological, biological, or nano-technological means.

The United State military will be restructured to focus on the long-term security of the United States, calculated in the hundreds of years, giving up its short-term obsession with weapons and war, and devoting itself to preventing the destruction of the environment, earth, water, and air, the rising power of the rich and powerful, the use of technology to manipulate citizens and to destroy information, and other threats to human security.

Americans will only be deployed outside of the United States in a transparent and accountable manner for multinational efforts that are clearly defined, and such deployments will only be for a proscribed period of time.

Beautiful piece!

It would help when education in schools would include the topic of teaching of peace principles. We need a kind of a new and contemporary 'Bible' for all the people in the world for the new upcoming times which could be a core-reference in our daily lives to apply the new peace principles. Not with a religious doctrine context but starting from a new kind of natural spirituality. It might help humanity to finally grow up!

Love the idea of a 28th Peace Amendment to the Constitution! However, it will likely mean nothing and be trodden upon as the rest of the Constitution is by so many who disregard it every day.
